Solayer Pay has expanded its card application to accept direct stablecoin deposits from five blockchain networks, giving users more ways to fund their payment cards from across the digital asset ecosystem. The update covers Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Base, according to the official Solayer Pay product page.

The expansion enables Solayer Pay users to deposit stablecoins straight from five major networks, simplifying card funding and reducing the extra transfer steps previously needed to move assets between platforms before reaching the payment service. Moving assets between blockchains typically requires a bridge service or an intermediate platform, and removing that step for supported networks shortens the path from a user's wallet to their card.

The development reflects the growing integration of stablecoins into consumer payment products, as crypto-focused companies work to make digital assets more practical for everyday transactions. By supporting multiple networks, Solayer Pay is aiming to accommodate users who hold stablecoins across different blockchain environments rather than requiring them to rely on a single chain.

Five blockchain networks supported

The updated application supports stablecoin deposits from Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Base. These networks provide infrastructure for digital asset transfers and decentralized applications, although they differ in transaction costs, processing characteristics, and ecosystem activity. The breadth of the list matters because stablecoin balances often sit on whichever network a person last used for trading, decentralized finance, or transfers, which is not necessarily the chain a payment product natively supports.

Solana is known for its high-throughput blockchain infrastructure, while Ethereum supports a broad range of decentralized finance applications and digital assets. Arbitrum and Base are Ethereum scaling networks designed to handle transactions with different cost and performance characteristics. BNB Chain also hosts a substantial ecosystem of digital assets and blockchain-based applications.

Supporting deposits from these networks gives users greater flexibility in how they fund their cards. Instead of first moving assets to a single supported blockchain, users may be able to transfer eligible stablecoins directly from their existing wallets on the supported networks.

However, the availability of a particular stablecoin may depend on the asset and network combination supported by Solayer Pay. Users must also ensure that deposits are sent through the correct network to avoid potential transfer problems.

Stablecoins strengthen crypto payment options

Stablecoins are digital assets designed to maintain a relatively stable value by tracking an underlying asset, most commonly the US dollar. They are widely used for cryptocurrency trading, blockchain-based transfers, and decentralized financial services.

Their use in payment applications offers an alternative to spending more volatile cryptocurrencies, whose market prices can change significantly over short periods. Stablecoins can help users maintain a predictable digital currency balance while moving funds between wallets and payment services.

USDC and USDT, the two assets named in Solayer's announcement, are dollar-pegged stablecoins that circulate across many blockchains simultaneously, which is why the network a deposit originates from is a practical consideration when funding a card.

For card providers, integrating stablecoins can connect blockchain-based holdings with familiar payment experiences. Users can potentially fund a card with digital assets and then use it through supported payment channels, depending on the product's terms and availability.

Solayer announced the update in a post on X on October 19, 2026:

"If your USDC/USDT are on Base or BSC, you can send them straight to @Solayer_Pay now. No bridging first."

By broadening its supported deposit networks, Solayer Pay is positioning its card application to serve users whose stablecoin holdings are distributed across multiple blockchain ecosystems. The expansion may also make the service more accessible to customers who already use different networks for trading, decentralized finance, or asset transfers. Fewer intermediate steps could improve the funding experience, although actual savings in time and transaction costs will depend on network fees and the application's deposit procedures.

Adoption depends on usability and supported assets

The addition of five blockchain networks represents an expansion of Solayer Pay's deposit infrastructure, but broader adoption will depend on the range of supported stablecoins, the reliability of transfers, and the overall card experience. Users may also need to consider network fees, transaction confirmation times, account requirements, and any applicable deposit or spending limits. The official Solayer Pay product page remains the reference point for the currently supported networks and eligible asset combinations.

Support for a blockchain does not necessarily mean every stablecoin issued on that network is accepted.

As crypto payment providers compete to make digital assets easier to use, cross-chain funding capabilities could become an increasingly important feature. Solayer Pay's latest update advances that objective by giving users more ways to move stablecoins into its card application without first consolidating their holdings on one blockchain.
